Canucks Rookie Goalie Arturs Silovs Earns Fifth Straight Playoff Start
Canucks coach Travis Green has made the bold decision to start rookie goalie Arturs Silovs for the fifth consecutive playoff game. Under the guidance of goalie coach Ian Clark, Silovs has shown improvement and determination in the net at Rogers Arena, where he will face off against the Oilers in Game 2, televised on SN Pacific.
The Canucks’ lineup features key players like Conor Garland, Oskar Lindblom, and Maxime Comtois, who have been instrumental in the team’s recent successes. Meanwhile, the Oilers will be looking for star players Connor McDavid, Zack Kassian, and Leon Draisaitl to step up their game after a disappointing Game 1 loss.
In a surprising turn of events, Canucks coach Travis Green has praised Silovs’ resilience and performance, highlighting the tough decision-making process when it comes to choosing between Silovs and Casey DeSmith. The upcoming game will be a test for both goalies, as they look to secure a crucial victory in the series.
Despite facing formidable opponents like McDavid and Draisaitl, Canucks players remain focused on executing their game plan and sticking to their defensive structure. The Canucks have shown their ability to come back from deficits before, giving them confidence going into Game 2 against the Oilers.
